A MAN has been charged with raping a child at an address in New Addington.
Alex Kwame Baah, 42, is accused of eight counts of rape relating to the same girl between January 2008 and August 2013.
The girl was under the age of 13 when the alleged offences began and 16 or over at the time of the most recent charge.
Baah, of Bostall Hill, Plumstead, appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
He spoke only to confirm his name and address and did not enter a plea.
The magistrate granted him conditional bail until a hearing at Croydon Crown Court on October 1.
